In a wonderful synthesis of science, history, and imagination, Gino Segrè, an internationally renowned theoretical physicist, embarks on a wide-ranging exploration of how the fundamental scientific concept of temperature is bound up with the very essence of both life and matter. Why is the internal temperature of most mammals fixed near 98.6š? How do geologists use temperature to track the history of our planet? Why is the quest for absolute zero and its quantum mechanical significance the key to understanding superconductivity? And what can we learn from neutrinos, the subatomic "messages from the sun" that may hold the key to understanding the birth-and death-of our solar system? In answering these and hundreds of other temperature-sensitive questions, Segrè presents an uncanny view of the world around us.

As I grow older, I feel more the need to integrate the experience of my life, to find patterns of connection in them that tie me to family, to community.

芒格推荐的书。年底了，要赶赶工了，站在洗手间里读到一点半总算读完。

Ruler, Clock, Thermometer...最后一章写的好人文 "consider how your souls were sown you were not made to live like brutes or beasts, but to pursue virtue and knowledge. ” 文科小白就是对一些科技大拿的八卦感兴趣，很多物理不太懂。
